Note: These are the articles, photos and other Doctor Who related items from issues of the New Zealand Listener. The full text of each item has been transcribed as it is often indistinct on the scanned cuttings. Spelling and grammar have not been corrected. We would like to hear from anyone who can provide better quality copies or scanned originals of any of these cuttings and also from anyone who can identify any additional Doctor Who items from the New Zealand Listener that have not been included here.

	21 January 1984 Vol 106 No 2293(21-27 Jan 1984) p44: photo (b/w) of Nyssa [from Time-Flight] on Puzzlers page of the Look (Junior Listener) supplement. Nyssa is one of seven TV characters pictured to be identified. There is a mistake in the answers in that the photo of Nyssa is identified as 'Nancy Drew', and vice versa.
	11 February 1984 Vol 106 No 2296 (11-17 Feb 1984) p12: Letters to the Editor Who's first, trekkies? Sir,-Great Galaxies! Star Trek got a whole page in the Listener ("Trekkies for Tolerance", January 21). Thundering Tribbles! Who dared to write that Star Trek was the longest running SF show on television? Hang your head in shame! The intrepid adventures of Dr Who have been screening for 20 years, 1963-1983. The 20th anniversary of Dr Who was on November 23, 1983, and didn't even get a mention, let alone a page. Suffering Cybermen! Something had better be done soon to recognise this great achievement before we Who fans emigrate to Gallifrey! The Radio Times in England devoted an entire supplement to the Dr Who phenomenon, so, how about it Listener. Couldn't you russle up a page or three? Huh? As the Daleks are fond of saying: "Obey, or we will exterminate you!" Mary A. Maclachlan President Science Fiction Modellers Club (Auckland)
	12 May 1984 Vol 107 No 2309 (12-18 May 1984) p121: TV People column by Bryan Nicholson American children will soon be engrossed in Doctor Who jig-saws and a new Doctor Who comic. The world's longest running TV sci-fi series, which has an enormous cult following in the US, is now notching up considerable merchandising successes on both sides of the Atlantic. And there's good news for New Zealand Doctor Who fans too: Television New Zealand is looking at repeating many of the early series of the Doctor's adventures.
	14 July 1984 Vol 107 No 2318 (14-20 Jul 1984) p70: Letters to the Editor Doctor Who fans Dear Editor - My friends and I are Doctor Who's greatest fans. We were wondering if the old repeats of Doctor Who could be put on television because we weren't around when the first doctor and his tardis were shown. It was only a couple of years ago that I first started enjoying Doctor Who. Grant Dalton Mount Maunganui Television New Zealand say that they are going to repeat some of the early Doctor Who* programmes in a special season towards the end of the year.*
	10 November 1984 Vol 108 No 2335 (10-16 Nov 1984) p131: TV Quiz by Bruce Russell, questions for quiz No.4 19. Which famous BBC-TV character came originally from the distant planet Gallifrey?
